Dawson won't bat he was just sub for Woakes, it will be Touge who will be a number 11, might be able to stick around for another batter but don't count on runs, Atkinson isn't bad and I think Overton bats higher up at county level so should be able to get himself double digits at least but it will depend on the ball love movment and how he handles the pressure.

Ah, I forgot about Dawson subbing, but there's enough there to get the runs. India needs a major collapse.

…England 1/4 with William Hills, they clearly think it’s going to be a win for the home side.

4 to start. lovely!

4 to start. lovely!

That's what we like to see! Both on their home ground, so they should have that as an advantage.

2nd ball 4, lucky one.

 

[Rita_Poon]

VERY lucky one!

2nd ball 4, lucky one.

Very, very lucky... although as the saying goes, 'You make your own luck!'

It's a fine line of being aggressive and trying to get the runs on the board quickly before the new ball, but equally we can't afford to lose an early wicket.

8 runs from last 41 balls yesterday.

8 runs off first two today.

Andy Saltzman 'Stato'.

As the commentators just said, the rain has helped us significantly because we were on the back foot yesterday; now, we've come out with optimism.

catch here?

 

[Mozza1987]

Absolutely woeful batting that

Another batsman charging and out. Daft

Rubbish innings

 

[Rita_Poon]

They're doing cartwheels and handstands...

 

[Rita_Poon]

Stupid stupid stupid stupid! fine him and demote him. Fool!

 

[ToffeeTim]

Smith is much better than that. Played so poorly
